LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO set "DreamZzz Grimkeeper the Cage Monster - Main Build". |
Note: these are the instructions for the main build of the set including the Grimkeeper as well as the Mateo and Cooper Minifigures. To access the instructions for building the mini-plane or the hoverbike dream-crafted from Mateo's companion Z-Blob, go back to the instructions website and navigate to the corresponding instructions. |
The Grimkeeper has snatched Cooper during his sleep and is taking him back to the Nightmare King! Now it’s up to you to help Mateo and Z-Blob rescue their friend. Choose to dream craft Z-Blob into a mini-plane to confront the Grimkeeper head-on or a hoverbike to pursue and intercept the Grimkeeper and free Cooper when the moment is right! |
The box cover shows an action-packed scene from the Dream World: the scene is framed with the white silhouette of a cloud. The Grimkeeper, a frightening black monster with neon-green claws, a white, demon-like head with horns and a cage built into its chest, is right in the middle of the scene. He is standing in front of a hellish landscape: grass turned purple, streaked with small streams of lava, the frightening sight of the Nightmare King in the far distance. The monster is trying to fight off the attack of brave Mateo who is flying towards the Grimkeeper in his mini-plane. The mini-plane is actually Mateo's Dream World companion Z-Blob rebuilt into a plane! Mateo is shooting ammunition at the Grimkeeper, trying to free his friend Cooper who is locked in the Grimkeeper's cage, desperate to get out! It will not be easy to defeat the creepy monster. Let's get started and help out Mateo! |
Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you! |
The box contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, and 3 bags with numbers printed on them. Ask a sighted person to help you find the correct bag! |
Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Cooper Minifigure, and the Grimkeeper's torso with cage as well as his legs. |
Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier! |
First, we will build the Cooper Minifigure. |
Collect the following 2 pieces: |

It has 2 red-and-white checkered patches on the chest, and a triangle-shaped red-and-white checkered patch on the back. There are 2 side zippers for the jacket's pockets. It has an elastic waistband at the bottom. Cooper's head has two face prints: on one side, he has an adventurous yet determined smirk on his face. He also has a small dimple on his chin! On the other side, his eyes are closed and he is yawning. Remember, the Grimkeeper kidnaps Cooper in his sleep! |
